Quick doodle I did earlier based on the leaked screenshot
I can fix it-
(the design I mean)
Literally the only think you gotta do to get a decent design out of this fucker is to change the greens to the dark blues on the rest of the suit
"Gojo should've gotten to live as a person-" THAT’S THE POINT. That is the ENTIRE point of JJK. Every single character who died was someone who "should've gotten to" do a lot of things. Riko should've gotten to live for herself, Geto should've had the chance to be a teenage boy given support and safety, Junpei should've gotten to live without fear, Nobara should've had the chance to let people in without fear, Nanami, Yuki, Mai, Higurama, EVERYONE.
Here's the thing, Gojo is on this list. Gojo isn't the exception because JJK at its core is a story about how overarching systems destroy people; bullying, capitalism, sexism, etc. And this system does not need people to run it. Which is why killing Kenjaku didn't stop shit because yeah he started this mess but its grown beyond him. Fuck, it was there before him.
This is also why despite Sukuna & Uraume being the only ones who are actual threats, nothing is better. The cast got rid of the higher-ups, jujutsu tech as it is, is no more. The major families are dismantled. This should be a victory. This is what the Sashisu gen pointed out as the problem but things have never looked more bleak.
Why? Because the problem isn't Kenjaku, Sukuna, curses, sorcerers or curse users. It's the existence of Cursed Energy itself. This has been pointed out multiple times by Yuki. Its the system and Gojo has been complicit to the system for a long, long time. He's also it's victim. Gojo says he's the exception a lot, but as everyone has rightfully pointed out, he was nothing more than a weapon to jujutsu society.
JJK has followed a very clear pattern to every character right from Geto to Junpei to Riko; characters are representatives of systems of suppression, and they will not escape it. I can't recall a single character that's escaped unscathed, much less alive.
Is it disrespectful? Yes. Is it demeaning? YES. There has not been a single character death that's been dignified in JJK. It's all on a scale of bearable to absolutely horrifying. It is genuinely wild seeing people resort to threatening the author AGAIN. Calm the fuck down. You are entitled to feeling upset about how Gojo has been treated but Yuta stans are being calm despite Yuta arguably suffering the "he is a weapon" thing WORSE. It's still a fictional character and JJK's narratives never treated Gojo with any exceptions despite the character saying otherwise.
for the people who are just too far away
Something so funny about Yuji when you know what he can so is realizing that in the first episode/second chapter that he could have possibly broken out those restraints. But chose not to because he needed answers.
And before anyone goes "but he couldn't when---", he had to realize he was even tied down. Once he did, that's when he settled down.
Just that scene alone though (in general, the first two episodes and chapters), in all seriousness, shows just what kind of person Yuji is.
He doesn't actually get panicky or thrash around. His immediate reaction to waking up was asking about Fushiguro and the others. Then even after that, he didn't ask "what are you going to do about me" or anything. Given, Satoru dove right into telling him he was to be executed.
Even with those news, Yuji's reaction was annoyance and disappointment. But he lets Satoru inform him of the situation and responds when need be, he's active in the discussion.
That, along with the issue before (curses attacking his upperclassmen, seeing Demon Dogs and Sukuna's finger) showcases just like in a fight with an opponent, Yuji learns to adapt to whatever is going on around him while being observant and calm, even though he can (and has) be annoyed.
He's not reckless in the sense of "I don't have time to be careful, I'm going to wreck everything". He tends to be cautious if he is allowed (note come his first mission he tells Nobara to be careful and curses aren't a joke), but it's often put in situations where to be reckless is possible and must.
I also feel like Yuji doesn't know his own strength sometimes. Just me, but based on how he acts, it's like Yuji does forget he can outrun a car or break concrete because he doesn't do things like that all the time. When he is made aware it's when it is a time of importance.
It's like when you have a special skill, but it sits in the back of your brain until you remember it. Like... curling your tongue! You can do it, but because it's not something you do all the time you forget you can do it until it's remembered.
So rewinding back to that holding room scene, I'm imagining that Yuji somewhat forgotten how strong he is, so he didn't try to break out the restraints. However, he also does know he could but chose to be patient so he can get a better understanding of what is going around him (again as he is in fights).
Yippee
